And it came to pass in the days{H3117} of Ahaz{H271} the son{H1121} of Jotham,{H3147} the son{H1121} of Uzziah,{H5818} king{H4428} of Judah,{H3063} that Rezin{H7526} the king{H4428} of Syria,{H758} and Pekah{H6492} the son{H1121} of Remaliah,{H7425} king{H4428} of Israel,{H3478} went up{H5927} to Jerusalem{H3389} to war{H4421} against it, but could{H3201} not prevail{H3898} against it.

And it was told{H5046} the house{H1004} of David,{H1732} saying,{H559} Syria{H758} is confederate{H5117} with Ephraim.{H669} And his heart{H3824} trembled,{H5128} and the heart{H3824} of his people,{H5971} as the trees{H6086} of the forest{H3293} tremble{H5128} with{H6440} the wind.{H7307}

Then said{H559} Jehovah{H3068} unto Isaiah,{H3470} Go forth{H3318} now to meet{H7125} Ahaz,{H271} thou, and Shear-jashub{H7610} thy son,{H1121} at the end{H7097} of the conduit{H8585} of the upper{H5945} pool,{H1295} in the highway{H4546} of the fuller's{H3526} field;{H7704}

and say{H559} unto him, Take heed,{H8104} and be quiet;{H8252} fear{H3372} not, neither let thy heart be faint,{H7401} because of these two{H8147} tails{H2180} of smoking{H6226} firebrands,{H181} for the fierce{H2750} anger{H639} of Rezin{H7526} and Syria,{H758} and of the son{H1121} of Remaliah.{H7425}

Because Syria,{H758} Ephraim,{H669} and the son{H1121} of Remaliah,{H7425} have purposed{H3289} evil{H7451} against thee, saying,{H559}

Let us go up{H5927} against Judah,{H3063} and vex{H6973} it, and let us make a breach{H1234} therein for us, and set{H4427} up a king{H4428} in the midst{H8432} of it, even the son{H1121} of Tabeel;{H2870}

thus{H3541} saith{H559} the Lord{H136} Jehovah,{H3069} It shall not stand,{H6965} neither shall it come to pass.

For the head{H7218} of Syria{H758} is Damascus,{H1834} and the head{H7218} of Damascus{H1834} is Rezin;{H7526} and within threescore{H8346} and five{H2568} years{H8141} shall Ephraim{H669} be broken{H2865} in pieces, so that it shall not be a people:{H5971}

and the head{H7218} of Ephraim{H669} is Samaria,{H8111} and the head{H7218} of Samaria{H8111} is Remaliah's{H7425} son.{H1121} If ye will not believe,{H539} surely ye shall not be established.{H539}

And Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} again{H3254} unto Ahaz,{H271} saying,{H559}

Ask{H7592} thee a sign{H226} of Jehovah{H3068} thy God;{H430} ask{H7592} it either in the depth,{H6009} or in the height{H1361} above.{H4605}

But Ahaz{H271} said,{H559} I will not ask,{H7592} neither will I tempt{H5254} Jehovah.{H3068}

And he said,{H559} Hear{H8085} ye now, O house{H1004} of David:{H1732} Is it a small thing{H4592} for you to weary{H3811} men,{H582} that ye will weary{H3811} my God{H430} also?

Therefore the Lord{H136} himself will give{H5414} you a sign:{H226} behold, a virgin{H5959} shall conceive,{H2030} and bear{H3205} a son,{H1121} and shall call{H7121} his name{H8034} Immanuel.{H6005}

Butter{H2529} and honey{H1706} shall he eat,{H398} when he knoweth{H3045} to refuse{H3988} the evil,{H7451} and choose{H977} the good.{H2896}

For before the child{H5288} shall know{H3045} to refuse{H3988} the evil,{H7451} and choose{H977} the good,{H2896} the land{H127} whose two{H8147} kings{H4428} thou abhorrest{H6973} shall be{H6440} forsaken.{H5800}

Jehovah{H3068} will bring{H935} upon thee, and upon thy people,{H5971} and upon thy father's{H1} house,{H1004} days{H3117} that have not come,{H935} from the day{H3117} that Ephraim{H669} departed{H5493} from [Judah—]{H3063} [even] the king{H4428} of Assyria.{H804}

And it shall come to pass in that day,{H3117} that Jehovah{H3068} will hiss{H8319} for the fly{H2070} that is in the uttermost part{H7097} of the rivers{H2975} of Egypt,{H4714} and for the bee{H1682} that is in the land{H776} of Assyria.{H804}

And they shall come,{H935} and shall rest{H5117} all of them in the desolate{H1327} valleys,{H5158} and in the clefts{H5357} of the rocks,{H5553} and upon all thorn-hedges,{H5285} and upon all pastures.{H5097}

In that day{H3117} will the Lord{H136} shave{H1548} with a razor{H8593} that is hired{H7917} in the parts beyond{H5676} the River,{H5104} [even] with the king{H4428} of Assyria,{H804} the head{H7218} and the hair{H8181} of the feet;{H7272} and it shall also consume{H5595} the beard.{H2206}

And it shall come to pass in that day,{H3117} that a man{H376} shall keep alive{H2421} a young{H1241} cow,{H5697} and two{H8147} sheep;{H6629}

and it shall come to pass, that because of the abundance{H7230} of milk{H2461} which they shall give{H6213} he shall eat{H398} butter:{H2529} for butter{H2529} and honey{H1706} shall every one eat{H398} that is left{H3498} in{H7130} the midst of the land.{H776}

And it shall come to pass in that day,{H3117} that every place,{H4725} where there were a thousand{H505} vines{H1612} at a thousand{H505} silverlings,{H3701} shall be for briers{H8068} and thorns.{H7898}

With arrows{H2671} and with bow{H7198} shall one come{H935} thither, because all the land{H776} shall be briers{H8068} and thorns.{H7898}

And all the hills{H2022} that were digged{H5737} with the mattock,{H4576} thou shalt not come thither{H935} for fear{H3374} of briers{H8068} and thorns;{H7898} but it shall be for the sending forth{H4916} of oxen,{H7794} and for the treading{H4823} of sheep.{H7716}
